Stylish Midcentury Inspired Fabric

Squares have always been an integral part of fabric and wallpaper patterns and this was never more so than in mid-century United Kingdom.

This design is inspired very much from the patterns that were created early in the mid-century period – say from late 1950s into the next decade. This was never ground breaking stuff but these sort of patterns were the bread and butter for curtains and cushions and I have created both of those here. Once again, this type of design is long overdue a revival, or so I think.

The patterns are not eye-catching, they do not immediately grab attention, but they do hold the eye while people make sense of the motifs and see how they match and style the curtains and cushions.

As ever, you can also see larger versions of this and my other work on my Flickr page which is here.
